i want to allow user to select an audio file and play it on browser. first, i use file input to get the audio file data

<input type='file'/>

let say X represent that input, so if user select a file, i can get the file data from X.files

then, i want to send the data to this tag

<audio ...></audio>

and provide the UI to allow user to control the audio

How can i do this thing WITHOUT go through server?

Store the audio file in the server that you are selecting and uploading using

<input type-"file"> tag.

during that process keep the path of that audio for your reference and give that path to your audio tag to play it.

Hope that helps.
